WDEL hosts job fair

With talk of how the sequester could impact the economy, job fairs happening around Delaware act as a powerful tool to help thousands of Delawareans looking for work.

WDEL holds its "Next Step Career Expo," Thursday at the new Crowne Plaza Hotel on Naamans Road.

"There are some sectors that are hiring and where people are getting employment opportunities and where employers are bringing jobs to Delaware because of the quality of the quality of our workforce, but I do hear from friends, neighbors and acquaintances who are still really struggling to find employment."
